“Bill and Claire, two of the nicest people you’d want to meet are Sea Swallow, one of the finest sounds you’d want to hear. Booked as a possible counterpoint to the more raucous acts in the Oban International Shanty Festival 2026, their mellow melodies, clear harmonies and intricate guitar accompaniment proved a hit with all their audiences”: - Tom Malone, Festival Director, Oban International Shanty Festival, Scotland.

“Sea Swallow had appropriate roots-infused songs drenched in timelessness for any occasion. The festival was where Bill Lawrie and Claire Moodie first met, a story Moodie recounted before the duo launched into a gorgeous rendition of ‘Starting Out Again’”: X-press Magazine on Nannup Music Festival , WA, 2026

“Brilliant story songs with universal themes and relatable messages perfectly interwoven..Bill and Claire venture into the realms of indie folk, alternative country and the blues, creating a timeless roots cocktail”: Aldora Britain Records
